Welcome Visitors

Welcome to my personal blog. I have another blog, Herbert's Place, but that one limits me to what I sometimes want to publish, because it is mainly used to promote my books. As it says in the header, I want to use this blog to write about things that have nothing to do with my books. There is no real theme here. I'll be writing about anything that causes me to either be happy or somethings that concerns me. It could be political, travel, a hobby, or anything else. So come and visit me sometimes.

The lion huntress

The news about Melissa Bachman, who shot a male lion in Africa has sparked outrage across the globe. I don't blame the people who are disgusted with the picture of that woman with a lion she shot, sporting her rifle.

Now, I'm a hunter, but I shoot only animals I can eat. Okay, if I shoot a trophy buck, I am proud and I will say so, but in the end, I will eat the meat. Besides, there are enough deer out there to make it okay to shoot them.

Like most hunters, I am also an animal lover. I have to draw the line when it comes to endangered or near endangered species. I also am disgusted with that woman shooting a magnificent animal like the lion.
